    Don't think the cowl plate denotes engine.

    What is the two letter engine code on the engine?

    Besides the engine code located in front of the valley pan on the passenger side if an original 2x4/425 the code would be KX. On the drivers side in front of the valley pan should start with 7K & 7 numbers. If they match the VIN code on the top of the cowl on the left front top of the cowl you will know if it's original to the car. The VIN number & engine number should be the same.

    Two letter code is KX147 but the other number reads 8K1042946 so..its not original to this car I presume. Additionally it does have power windows , a/c, rear speaker and tinted glass. Thanks for the replies. I posted pics of the carbs + intake # from this vehicle on another thread titled "Name That Carb"...thanks for the replies.

    I believe 8 is from an Electra. K is for '64
